Title
Working metal deposits at Stolberg, Prussia
Caption
Working metal deposits at Stolberg, Prussia, Germany, in direct or descending steps. The miners are working by the light of oil lamps with naked flames as in metal mines there was none of the inflammable gas methane to contend with. The ore is being carried away from the workface in trolleys running on rails. From "Underground Life; or, Mines and Miners" by Louis Simonin (London, 1869). Wood engraving. Mining. Metals.
